What are your thoughts on this? Specifically that women extending empathy to men is the “status quo.”

Pretty sure it's been routinely proven that people of both sexes (and definitely men) feel more sympathy for women than men in basically every possible scenario.

You'll notice no data was provided to back up their claims. This would likely be because no such data exists.

I think it's more personal issues than anything else.

If there is anything I feel is fully deserving of retort it's how much disdain she has against sustaining a healthy household. I don't think child me has EVER considered my mother or father as less than for staying home when they could, or doing their best when they couldn't (I did miss my dad a lot though). And it's this internalized self hatred about doing this that is always so alarming.

It's like women don't understand the COMPLETE shift in life values when a family is built. It's like time travel. All those glorious things you remember your parents doing? REPEAT IT. The things you felt could be better? MAKE IT BETTER. You are essentially just rubbing putty over the holes in your timeline to raise a well thought, developed, and free acting individual. And they feel like it's the worst thing they could do with their life? What the actual fuck?

Look, she could have spoken better about male issues when she dismisses most of them as: blame the patriarchy, not my problem. But frankly her opinion about keeping a healthy and clean home just... If you don't understand how important a foundation is to success, what grounds have you to speak on anything else? It always irks me.

Maybe she is just glossing over it, but I feel like that's kind of the only thing she thought poorly about women being seen as. Meanwhile that's like the best thing you could do for any child. I'll look at it again I might just be crazy.

Its just gender war thinking again, I don't know why this sub pays so much attention to irrelevant actors that know nothing about men's issue really.

I expected this sub to be focused more around men's issues not a constant stream of people falling for rage baits and misandrist takes.

Anyone that believes that women extending empathy to men is the status quo is saying something very disgusting and misandrist

First, there are studies that show the bias and empathy gap that exists. So to make that statement is to ignore the empathy gap which harms men, which is a misandrist thing to do

Second, it ignores that conversation on men’s issues and gender equality for men has been negligible for the century that feminism has had a monopoly on the conversation for gender equality. To ignore how men have been left behind for a century is misandrist

Third, it ignores how the narratives and philosophy that feminism has advanced is inherently anti male and requires a lack of empathy for men to really survive in anyone’s mind. To ignore how these narratives have taken root and then oppressed men is misandrist

Overall, to make that statement is to take the intense pain men feel, take the apathy society has had towards men suffering that intense pain, and then trivialize, obfuscate, and hide it. Therefore allowing it to continue

women extending empathy to men is the “status quo.”

The data suggests the exact opposite (for the five of us left in he world who care about truth over "narrative").

With that link, the mods might take this down.

never been the case and never will be the case. both genders generally extend empathy to women and conditionally extend it to men

to be frank i don’t know why men do it bc they do it with women outside of their personal lives like strangers and ppl they will never see again so i can’t imagine it’s purely motivated by lust the way a lot of ppl think, but for women their strong female in-group bias motivates generally extending empathy to other women

and tbh i don’t ever see a world where society will broadly extend empathy towards men bc unless it’s for the explicit purpose of being critical, ppl don’t typically look at men just based off gender. you get the empathy when you drill into intersectional dynamics, like black men young men homeless men mentally ill men working class men, there are a ton of different qualities a man can have that invite societal empathy, but typically not the gender in and of itself imo

She's just stupid, I couldn't even bear to watch it completely because of the amount of stupidity. I can't even count the number of times she contradicts her own views in just one video.

In the beginning itself she claims that men and women have the same brain which I agree with then she claims that men have no empathy towards women while women have too much empathy towards men, which she blames on men how does that not contradict the fact that we are equal. Then she claims that all men have enjoyed for a millenia and continues to claim that men going to war and doing dangerous jobs doesn't matter because the people deciding that are the top 1% of men. She's just combining a bunch of feminist arguments that don't make any sense when put together. I'm sure there are a lot of other issues but I don't want to waste any more of my time talking about it or watching her video

man this group will not even extend the empathy towards me to let me post one lousy post a day without being insulted and now censored and yet you are talking about other people because as much as i hate feminism at least their honest.
